HUD Bailout SCAM...... (read more)

One of my local SunTrust Lender forwarded this warning and I felt it was important to get the word out:

There is a deceptive website out there that is posing as HUD.  This website tries to dupe people into giving out personal information (known as "phishing") - and because they've made their site appear to be an "official us government website", some people may fall prey to this scam.

The website is:  http: // bailout (dot) hud-gov.us 

(I added the dot so that it does not get picked up as a link)

If anyone asks you about this website, advise them to stay away.

Hi, Charles!

Thanks for giving everyone the heads up on this scam.  This economy is bringing out many scammers.  I am reblogging this post.  It is extremely important.

Thank you for sharing, It always amazes me. If these people spent 1/2 the energy into a postive business as they do trying to defraud people they could be a success

The Federal Government needs to be cracking down on this.  I am now getting emails that say they are from the US Dept of Treasury.  Thieves are not afraid of prosecution.

Hi Charles:  Isn't it a shame with all that's pulling us down as a nation, that more greedy people are willing to make it worse....I'm over mad, now I'm just sad!

BTW - Congrats on passing the 400K milestone......you ROCK!!!
